Chinese nationalists are calling for Russia to return land they claim was stolen by the Kremlin in the 19th century.
A video on Chinese social media has called on Beijing to take advantage of Moscow's weakened position to seize large parts of Siberia and Russia's Far East.
The clip has gone viral in China and has racked up millions of hits among viewers on TikTok.

The Treaty of Aigun in 1858 forced China to cede much of Manchuria to the Russian Tsar Alexander II.
The territory, comprising some 600,000 square kilometres, is part of Russia's Far East and includes Vladivostok - the base of Putin's Pacific Fleet.
In the video the Chinese narrator calls on China's "thunderous" army to "rush north" and retrieve the country's historic lands.

That day must come soon. We need to hit rock bottom to regain our soul.
I love how the propaganda has gone into Soap Opera land. It’s another sign of how desperate things look for Ukraine.
That might explain why Biden supported the war this long. Doing the bidding of his masters, China.
That cargo ship wasn’t blown up. It was a modified ship that was literally cut, a section removed, and welded back together. It was designed for river work, not open sea. The greater ocean/sea movement caused the welds to fail.
It did not take an attack to sink that thing. It took a couple of large waves.
**The book “The Bear and The Dragon” was published in 2000.**
A thousand pages. Can’t be that good. It’s the attention span.
I found all of Clancy’s books to be very well written and exceptionally well researched.
I recall in this book he wrote about unmanned drones and munitions that were not know to anyone in the general public.
Weapons systems that were still in the developmental stages.
What’s the difference between the Chinese claim and the recent Russian claim to Alaska?
Why should China invade Russia—They get all the resources now without the bother of trying to rule over a hostile population? Just to see the flag of China fly over the lost lands would be popular—but, Russia would use nukes on China, maybe in a first strike. The New Axis is a growing concern—China would not want to disturb the balance. This is a Ne0-Con wet dream only.
So, this propaganda is the best Brits can come up with.
Are you rooting for the commies, Comrade Marcus?
Not defending the source of the story, at all.
Chinese “lusting” after the resources of East Russia is not a new concept. These types of stories have been bouncing around “strategic” forums for years.
My guess is someone fell into one of those forums and decided this would be a good “story” for a slow news day.
In the West, we don’t spend a lot of time thinking about what is actually going on between countries that are not “us.” For example, is it widely known that the Taliban have been fighting the Paks for the last week?
But but…what about the limitless friendship ?
Never, ever, underestimate the ability of leaders to misestimate, and the role of irrationality in human affairs. I give you World War I and the American Civil War as instances.
Won’t happen.
There is an area north of Lake Baikal where a group of widely spaced exploration wells have been drilled finding natural gas. Widely space as in a hundred miles or so and the chain of wells stretching hundreds of miles to the north. Each well log looked just like the others meaning it is likely a vast natural gas and probably condensate field that is as of yet lightly exploited owing to its remoteness and the fact that Russia just does not need it now. Too tempting for the chicoms.
Kyiv in 3 days!
Checkers ... Chess.
Putin has China right where he wants them. Great (NOT Failing) Russian Federation will expand into China when they invade and take Novosibirsk, Vladivostok, Siberia, etc. Just as Putin planned. His brilliance is beyond comprehension.
Feudalism Forever!
The piper’s price for Chinese support
